COVID Clarity Jul 11, 2020

There is a general lack of clarity on the seriousness of COVID 19. Initial information was definitely following the precautionary principle. We don’t really know how bad this is, so let’s not gamble with people’s lives.

Probably realistic when you saw the news reports form Wuhan. And then Northern Italy. You could foresee another bubonic plague, Spanish Flu, etc.

Some politicians downplayed the seriousness of it, with comments like “its just a really bad flu”
